Grandma tells me she was never aware of what is infertility until I got married; my mom never heard of any friend or close relative suffering from infertility except one of my aunts whereas I have 4 close friends suffering from infertility.

Ayurveda Demystified 2008-04-09 12:28:59 I just attented a wonderful 2 day workshop organized by Associated Chambers of Commerce, Ayurvedic Drug Manufacturers Association of India and National Medicinal Plants Board.

Some Facts about Ayurveda :
Ayurveda is a combination of two Sanskrit words : "Ayu" meaning life, and Veda meaning "Science/Knowledge". Therefore Ayurveda, literally means Knowledge of Life.
Indians believe that Ayurveda originated more than 5000 years ago around the time of Ramayana, the great epic of Indian Gods which itself is several millenia old.
Ayurveda was discovered by Lord Dhanwantri, th
Rice, if taken correctly, is nutritious 2008-03-27 07:44:39 We all know that Rice has been a staple diet in many parts of India. It contains mainly carbohydrates with almost negligible proteins, fats and minerals. 100 grams of Rice gives us 300-400 calories. In Ayurveda, Khichari (rice-lentil stew) has been recommended because the proteins in rice, when mixed with proteins in the grams/lentils can produce nutritious
results. Many people in Western and Southern India cook rice in milk to make “Payasam” which is very nutritious, but it should be taken without sugar. Other milk products like curd, buttermilk, yoghurt etc when mixed with rice show good nutritional value.
Forms of Rice : From all varieties, the manually polished rice is the best for digestion. Try to get this organic rice from villages or directly from farmers. It may be dif
Liver is the most vital Organ - Detox it twice a year 2008-03-25 05:10:01 In ayurveda, many experts claim that if you have nothing else to blame, or if you cannot find the cause of the problem, blame it on the Liver
. Liver plays a fundamental role in maintaining the body fat, state of fertility, blood purification and detoxification or rasa, rakta, mamsa and medha dhatus. Liver should be detoxified twice a year.
To do an Ayurvedic liver flush take 8 ounces of distilled water with 8 ounces of apple juice in which is blended 1-4 cloves of garlic and a hunk of fresh ginger and 1-4 tablespoons of olive oil. Take this each morning on an empty stomach for four days in a row. Follow with a cup of tea made with fennel seed and dandelion root.
One of the best herbs which can be planted in-house, or obtained easily would be Aloe-Vera (Ghrit Kumari). Aloe Vera enhances the Read more:Detox

A herbal pain-killer for cancer sufferers taking Radiotherapy 2008-03-13 06:59:43 A scientist, a cancer specialist and an Ayurveda physician in Kerala have filed a patent for a herbal mixture to control the painful side effects of radiation suffered by oral cancer patients. One-fourth of the world’s oral cancer patients are in India.
“It is not a drug. It is like a mouthwash or a healthcare product,” professor M Radhakrishna Pillai, director of the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology told the Hindustan Times. “Gargling it gives the patient immediate relief.” If plans go well, the mouthwash is expected to be sold across medical counters in six months. But the research trio secretively refuse to give away the identity of the herbs, that they said are akin to Grandma.

How to find out if I have Candida? 2008-03-13 04:21:58 Do you have the “Leaky Gut Syndrome?”. You can find out, if you have Candida by filling out a simple questionnaire here.
To explain further, Candida is a fungus which survives on “dead” energy. In Ayurveda, we call this “dead” energy as “Ama” which displaces the vital energy in the body. So Candida, promotes the leaky gut by growing into the walls of the intestine causing them to be permeable. Ofcourse, the underlying major cause is taking improper foods, combining them improperly and taking them at the improper times.
Since Candida thrives on “Ama” (The dead energy), we should attempt to correct our digestion and eliminate the “Ama”. In absence of the “Ama”, candida cannot survive and hence the problem is

Are You actually Fasting ? 2008-05-06 04:40:41 What is a fast? The connotation of a fast would vary with the culture, native place and even age of a person. For an American, avoiding non vegetarian food would imply a fast, whereas in India many people are vegetarians throughout their lives. Does this mean they are fasting lifelong? The deviation and contradiction in the connotation is not restricted to countries alone.
In India, within the same religion, a few people consider themselves to fast when they have only fruits and liquids, some others take the liberty of consuming semi solids to if they are without onions and garlic, some other devotees are rigid enough to consume only water when they are fasting. How do we comprehend a single word in different connotations?
